The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

Chen Li? Chen Li knows absolutely nothing about divination.

What kind of "Exhaustion Formation" would Chen Li use? At most, he'd just lift the "Exhaustion Formation" and smash it in the enemy's face!

"These are the results of my last two divinations." Fu Xuan didn't say much, but handed a slip of paper to Qing Que.

Qingque keenly noticed the complex expression on Fu Xuan's face when he handed her the note.

Confused by the expression on Fu Xuan's face, Qing Que took the note and examined it closely.

"What does it mean to have intimate interactions with the ancestor of plague and misfortune? What does it mean to share a bed with a void star god?"

Although Qingque knew that Chen Li had indeed had a close relationship with the Star God, she did not expect it to be to this extent.

What did you do to the God of Abundance? And what did you do to the God of Nothingness?

What are you doing?

Why do you seem to be dating the Star God all the time?

Are you doing anything productive?

"You also think this divination result is outrageous, right?" Fu Xuan sighed, looking at Qing Que, whose expression was clearly shocked.

“Uh…” Qingque didn’t know how to answer.

Based on the experience of the previous two times, if nothing unexpected happens, Chen Li should indeed be doing something similar.

However, after being influenced by the Joyful Dice, the results given by the Qiong Guan Formation become more abstract.

Of course, this also allowed Qiong Guanzhen to participate in high-level battles that he would never have been able to reach in his entire life.

Qingque knew that Chen Li and the Gluttonous Star God had dinner together, meaning that Chen Li and the Gluttonous Star God were biting each other.

According to Daheita, who watched the live broadcast, the scene was extremely brutal.

And the results of these two divinations... might actually be true.

But Qingque didn't know how to say these things to Fu Xuan.

You can't exactly tell Fu Xuan, "Your supernatural powers are no match for fate."

"This phenomenon can only mean three things. First, Chen Li really did these heinous things, but that's obviously impossible, right?"

"Uh, yes."

“Secondly, Chen Li’s intellectual power is able to withstand the Qiong Guan Formation of the Bo Shi Zun, plus the Dharma Eye on my forehead bestowed by the Bo Shi Zun. If this is indeed the case, it can only mean that Chen Li has surpassed his master. I am very pleased.” Fu Xuan nodded to himself as he said this.

Fu Xuan was not one to accept defeat. He planned to train Chen Li properly after Chen Li returned, and then groom him to be the successor of the Grand Diviner of the Grand Diviner's Office. After that, he would focus on preparing for the position of general.

When Fu Xuan becomes a general and Chen Li becomes a diviner, they will surely make the art of divination shine brightly on the Luofu Immortal Ship!

"Don't be so quick to feel relieved, and don't be so quick to step down. Isn't there a third possibility?"

“The third possibility… there’s that damned Masked Fool pulling the strings in the shadows!” Fu Xuan’s gaze turned serious.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Qingque subconsciously looked up at the pink sun in the sky.

Qingque knew that the one hanging in the sky was Alicia, but the whole Immortal Ship was spreading the rumor that it was a prank by the Masked Fool.

“Not this sun.” Fu Xuan shook his head.

Fu Xuan knew that the person in the sky was a distinguished guest of the general; this was something Fu Xuan had divined.

"what is that?"

"You may not know, but not long ago, a masked fool broke into the general's mansion, stole the general's account, and sent me a will. It's utterly despicable!"

"Uh, I've heard about it."

Qingque learned from the group that it seemed that Bai Heng, in his heroic spirit form, appeared at the General's Mansion and frightened Jing Yuan into thinking that his life was coming to an end. Jing Yuan wrote his own will, but later, due to various circumstances, Jing Yuan blamed the Masked Fool.

“This morning, the general summoned me to the general’s mansion and told me and the other six imperial guards that recently, the Masked Fool has been frequently coming and going from the immortal ship. He may be impersonating the general and committing crimes. We should be careful to distinguish him,” Fu Xuan continued.

"..."

Qingque also knew about this, because the general was affected by Mengying's body, and the general did not know how much Mengying's body would affect others, or whether it would make everyone forget the fact that Xiao Jingyuan was walking on the street.

To prevent the powerful weapon of "cute body" from appearing in everyone's sight prematurely, Jingyuan decided to continue to shift the blame to the Masked Fool.

"So I suspect that because the Immortal Ship pinned the pink sun incident on the Masked Fool, the Masked Fool became enraged and started playing indiscriminate pranks on the General and the Grand Diviner," Fu Xuan continued.

The announcement that "the pink sun in the sky was the work of the Masked Fool" was made by the General's Mansion, while the one who divined this matter based on the announcement was the Grand Diviner.

“The General’s Mansion suffered a disaster some time ago, and now it should be the Grand Diviner’s turn. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the three array bases of the Qiong Guan Array have taken turns malfunctioning when you inspected them three times!” Fu Xuan said.

“…I feel that the third one is the most likely,” Qingque said.

Qingque knew that whether it was the pink sun in the sky, Jingyuan being frightened by the female ghost and thinking that his time was coming to an end, or Jingyuan blaming the Masked Fool for blocking the news of Mengying's body, all three things were ultimately because of Chen Li.

But brotherhood is in the heart!

Qingque couldn't possibly speak ill of Chen Li, so she could only speak ill of the Masked Fool!

"I think both of these are possible, so I've decided to focus on nurturing Chen Li after he returns, and then..."

"Then what?"

"Search for any possible Masked Fools within the jurisdiction of the Grand Diviner! If I can't even catch a Masked Fool, how am I supposed to continue as Grand Diviner? If this gets back to the General, how can I remain a General?" Fu Xuan clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

This is why Fu Xuan said he should perhaps abdicate.

If the divination went wrong because of the second reason, then Chen Li is more suitable to be the Grand Diviner than I am.

If it's because of the third reason, and Fu Xuan didn't even know a ghost had entered the Taibu Si (a divination office), then what kind of Taibu Si is Fu Xuan?

“...Why don’t you have your fortune told?” Qingque suggested.

“Divination is useless. Since that Masked Fool was able to trick General Jingyuan, who is a Hunting Envoy, it means that the other party may be an Envoy-level Masked Fool. He is protected by the divine power of Chang Le Tianjun, so it is impossible for him to be so easily divined,” Fu Xuan said.

"What should I do?"

“We should visit each of the diviners and observe them closely with our divine eyes; perhaps we can discover something,” Fu Xuan said.

"Then it might be too much trouble for you, Lord Taibu." Qingque looked at Fu Xuan with admiration.

What a massive undertaking this is...

"What are you talking about? You're coming with me too!"

"what?"

"Because you could also be the Masked Fool in disguise. After all, you are the one who, besides me, most frequently comes into contact with the Qiong Guan Formation and is most likely to tamper with it. Therefore, I need to keep you by my side for observation. Let's go!" Fu Xuan acted swiftly and decisively.

"Damn you, Masked Fool!" Qingque wailed.

Qingque felt that she would be busy all day.

“Indeed, that damned Masked Fool!” Fu Xuan nodded.

Thinking of this, Fu Xuan sent a text message to Jing Yuan, noting that the Taibu Si might be causing trouble with the Masked Fool, and suggesting that Jing Yuan issue a public notice to warn the Immortal Ship people to be vigilant against the Masked Fool's disturbances.

“…That damned Masked Fool!” Upon seeing this message, Jing Yuan didn’t know why the Masked Fool was interfering with the diviner’s divination, nor did he know what Fu Xuan was divining. But the Masked Fool was indeed capable of anything.

Upon seeing the warning issued by the General's Mansion about the Masked Fools causing trouble on the Immortal Ship, the real Masked Fools on the Immortal Ship glanced at the pink sun in the sky and the warning in front of them, and cursed inwardly: Damn Masked Fools!

Because they also felt that no one but the Masked Fool would do so many outrageous and insane things.

Hanging a pink sun above the Immortal Ship, stealing the Immortal Ship General's account to publish a will, impersonating the Immortal Ship General to commit crimes, and interfering with the divination of the Grand Diviner...

The other party is simply a rising star in the world of masked fools!

Faced with this phenomenal amusement, the Masked Fools began to gradually disappear while simultaneously sharing in the fun.

Why hide? Because they're afraid of running into the line of fire.

That's why they cursed the damned Masked Fool.

"Hmm? Such a hero is on the Luofu Immortal Ship. It would be a real shame not to go and see him... Let's put the Pinocchio matter aside for now. Anyway, the Harmonious Music Ceremony is still a long way off. Let's go find some fun on the Immortal Ship first!"

Some of the masked fools chickened out, and naturally, others, hearing the news, were eager to investigate.

Among them is the Masked Fool, Hanabi, who is very interested in this!

"Fun, fun..."

The thought that no matter what kind of fun they had at the Luofu Immortal Ship was, they could always pin it on that damned Masked Fool made Hanabi hum softly.

Fireworks is never afraid to commit crimes against the wind!

Anyway, that damned Masked Fool isn't Hanabi-sama.

……

"???"

"Say what Silver Wolf told you again." Looking at Bai Heng's awkward smile, Chen Li wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

“She told me to hang you up with these black stockings,” Bai Heng said, then pointed to the crumpled fishnet stockings in the transparent bag.

"I lent you the strange object so you could chat with your friend for an hour, and you became friends with Silver Wolf so quickly? And then you even helped her fight me? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Chen Li looked at Bai Heng in disbelief.

The slap glove works like this: after slapping someone or yourself, you can keep chatting as long as you don't close the channel.

Theoretically, it is possible to establish a spacetime channel, but unfortunately it can only be a one-way channel.

At the same time, the person who slaps the other can also directly cross this passage and go directly to the other person's location.

"Don't say that. I only brought the things back because I couldn't resist Silver Wolf's enthusiasm. I never said I would lay a hand on you. So you can deal with the things yourself." Bai Heng threw the bag to Chen Li.
